In today's episode, I discuss the danger in managing to The Peter Principle, and the Top 5 issues every employer should consider including in manager training.

In this second of two parts to wrap up the Summer of 2023, I discuss the EEOC's extensive new harassment guidance and proposed regulations to implement the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, federal AI legislation, an interesting development in the law on retaliation, and the NLRB's new/old rule on workplace policies.

Today's episode is the first of two parts wrapping up the big developments and trends coming out of the Summer of 2023. In this Part 1, we discuss the United States Department of Labor's proposed new overtime exemption rule: what it says, what it does not say, and when it might be effective.

I am joined by a panel that includes EEOC Commissioner Andrea Lucas and Cozen O'Connor Labor & Employment Attorneys Debra Friedman and Alan Pittler to discuss the Supreme Court's June 29, 2023 decision on affirmative action, and the implications on educational institutions AND private employer programs promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Today's episode looks at the hot employment law developments of the Summer of 2023, including the Supreme Court impacting diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and the "undue hardship" defense for religious accommodation requests; the new federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act; new rules on independent contractor and overtime exemption classifications; and the first regulation of AI hiring tools.

On today's episode, NLRB General Counsel Abruzzo talks directly about the new Memorandum she issued this week and why she believes that the proffer, maintenance, and enforcement of non-compete agreements violate the National Labor Relations Act.

Today's episode features a roundtable discussion on Artificial Intelligence and Generative A.I. from multiple perspectives that employers should be thinking about: labor and employment, corporate and privacy, intellectual property, and regulatory.

In today's new episode, I am joined by current EEOC Commissioner and Vice Chair Jocelyn Samuels to get some insight on a wide-range of topics, including public perception of the EEOC; the likely impact of pending Supreme Court decisions on religious accommodation and diversity/equity/inclusion initiatives; the new federal pregnancy accommodation rules; Covid-19 cases; and the recent federal agency partnership to combat retaliation.

On today's new episode (Part 2 of a two-part A.I. series), I am joined by economist Christine Polek, PhD from The Brattle Group to discuss Artificial Intelligence and how employers can use statistical and qualitative analyses to determine if their A.I. tools unintentionally violate anti-discrimination laws.

Today's episode is Part 1 of 2 addressing the use of Artificial Intelligence ("A.I.") in employment-related decisions. Joining me today is current EEOC Commissioner Keith Sonderling to discuss the intersection of A.I. and EEO laws, as well as how the EEOC has been addressing these important issues.
